Original Odd Couple ~ Michael Jackson + Eddie Murphy

Jun, 26 2009 | Written by ATLien

Michael Jackson and Eddie Murphy may seem like they have absolutely nothing in common but actually they were quite good friends. Early in his career, Eddie used Mike as subject matter in his stand up, where he joked about Michael’s emotional performance of “She’s Outta My Life”, and as Eddie’s star rose, he and Mike gained a mutual respect for one another.

Check out a few choice videos of the two of them together below,? beginning with Eddie’s 1983 Delirious roast of Jackson and ending with the two of them appearing in each other’s music videos: Continue Reading…

Jun, 12 2009 | Written by ATLien

Click Here if you can’t see the video

Today’s flashback video piggy backs on my last post “An Ode to Eddie’s Gold”.? Check out Nelly’s Grillz produced by Jermaine Dupri and featuring Paul All, Ali & Big Gipp.? Don’t act like y’all weren’t singing this ish just a few short years ago! I know I was….and I HATE grills.? Anyway, I think it’s about time for a “Porcelain Grillz” remix cause dayum near everybody in the video has remixed their mouths.? Somebody call JD….and tell ’em to get on that.

Happy Flashback Friday!

O.S.A.M. ~ An Ode to Eddie’s Gold Teeth… (S.W.A.T.S.)

Jun, 12 2009 | Written by ATLien

Once a staple at Greenbriar Flea Market, Eddie’s Gold Teeth catered to any ATLien who had an appetite for a grill. So in honor of the “Flashback,” I thought I’d devote a post to Mr. Eddie Plein. The “godfather of grills,” also known as the owner of Eddie’s Gold Teeth.

I’ve never met Eddie personally, but I HAVE met several recipients of his custom works. By the way, you have too…there’s Big Boi, Andre 3000, Big Gipp, Lil Jon, Cee-Lo….the list goes on and on.

Not to mention the non-rapping regular joes who just wanted to have a lil GOLD in their mouf!

The fad has since gave way to porcelain veneers but the fond memories of the bling shall remain in our hearts forever.

Yep…Eddie Plein was/is responsible for all of THAT and contrary to popular belief, wearing grills started in South America and not Southwest Atlanta! Ha!

Peep what Eddie had to say about how the fad started, why his craziest request was from Andre 3000 and what he’s up to now: Continue Reading…

Flashback Video ~ “Trans DF Express” ~ The Dungeon Family

Jun, 5 2009 | Written by ATLien

I haven’t forgotten that it’s Friday. Not me! I’m just a bit slow this morning. Anyway, add this video to your flashback collection. It’s the Dungeon Family’s “Trans DF Express” and features Outkast, Goodie Mob, Sleepy Brown, Rico Wade, Slim Cutta Calhoun, C-Bone…and whoever else you can pick out. You’ll probably see one or all at Greenbriar this weekend anyway but I’m still mad I missed their Vibe photoshoot/barbeque at Piedmont Park the other day.

Heyyyyy Twan… *waving*

Flashback Video ~ “Cre-A-Tine” ~ Cool Breeze

May, 29 2009 | Written by ATLien

Click Here if you can’t see video

Somebody told me recently that I always have “people”…for every problem there is a solution and most likely a contact in my phone. Cool Breeze‘s “Cre-A-Tine” song is a great reflection of me and my circle of friends. As someone who’s been around these parts for quite some time, it’s easy to accumulate a few “people” who’ve been around as well. I must say though… my circle of friends is wide and ranges from corporate CEO’s to school teachers to producers to shady “A”zz hustlers (and everything in between). And they all hold me down and stand by me when I’m in need. I can honestly say I’m a blessed woman.

Shouts out to the Southside! S.W.A.T.s….. STAND UP!

O.S.A.M. ~ “A” BROTHER From ?A?nother Mother

May, 29 2009 | Written by ATLien

Brad Pitt & Robin Givens (circa 1989)

So, I?m sitting at my daughter?s honor?s program with one of her best friends, Braves-game-ghetto-cheering for all of their ‘The Smawwt One’ buddies. I love this kid! He was all hugged up in the parking lot with his Sasha/Malia-looking girlfriend yesterday who is on her way to UGA to study pre-med, I believe. He plays in the inner-city high school band and was actually in a fairly popular snap music video for a few seconds (below).

Dem Franchize Boyz ~ Talkin Out the Side of Yo Neck

When they all went to the Battle of The Bands college fair earlier this school year, they got stopped by members of other bands who recognized him from his cameo. Purportedly, ?He got that fire!? Did I mention that he?s white?

That White Kid. Remember him? Not the Jamie Kennedy, Straight From The ?Bu caricature kid who walked around ?acting black? and only saw black folk on tv, one lunchroom table over and at his back door, but the kid who was very aware of his ?whiteness? in a sepia-toned world and didn?t care.
